He missed the rest of the game due to a "nasal contusion". The Blazers very likely would not have won the game if Brogdon wasn't forced into big minutes.

Scoot's RPM (Real Plus-Minus) is 402 out of 403 players in the ESPN database. There is literally one player in the entire NBA that he ranks ahead of in a rating designed to measure overall performance. The one player he ranks ahead of plays only 7.5 minutes per game, with only 15 games played...

At this point, anybody that continues to defend Scoot is just a complete and utter moron. You could make a case that he is literally the worst player in the NBA.

He has been a complete liability this series. All of his flaws as a player have been exposed in this matchup. That is the reason they decided to bench him.

They are both G League caliber players. Both of them would rarely leave the bench on a good team, that is the bottom line.

I voted no, but I'll give Whiteside credit for playing way, way better in the first 2 games than I expected. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Nurk has actual basketball skills, a feel for the game and works hard. Whiteside is just a big body with precious little of those other attributes.

Trent Jr. is virtually worthless and will hardly play, so there will be no reason to direct anger towards him. Whiteside is just a bad fit in the NBA of today.

The truth is, Trent is complete and utter garbage. I don't know why some people keep clinging to the idea that he will become a productive NBA player. If he didn't have a famous name and came to the Blazers as a camp invite, there is nobody in the world that would think he is an NBA caliber player.

Great interview. Props to you for your dedication.

It is possible this could lead to Nurkic playing with greater fire and focus on a consistent basis, but it will take a while to determine that. I certainly wouldn't overreact to one game. Nurkic has had plenty of good games this season without Kanter playing behind him.

If coaching only involved making some inane comment like that at halftime, virtually every person alive could do it well.

Let's not get caraway, it is just a rumor at this point.

You just proceeded to explain exactly why he should get credit. The notion that a GM shouldn't get credit because he doesn't do every single bit of grunt work himself is laughable.

As I pointed out earlier in the thread, it is still important for the Blazers to win the #3 seed if you want the best possible chance of winning in the second round. The Blazers have a better shot at defeating a banged up Warriors squad than they do the Rockets, as the season series against each...

Getting #3 seed is still important in terms of the second round matchup. If the Blazers advance, they will likely lose in the second round either way, but I would rather roll the dice against the wounded Warriors.

"I told you in the past I don't associate myself with nerds and computer geeks, so having me on here should be considered a blessing. Denny compensates me VERY well to be here and I'm not going to mess that up." Lol, is this some sort of inside joke?
